Namibia:
Did you know that that the oldest desert in the world has been dry for at least 55 million years?
Amazing, right?
Do you know where we need to travel to in order to visit this desert?
it is indeed Namibia.
The Namib has been dry for at least 55 million years, and possibly as many as 80 million. While it may not be the world’s largest desert, it is almost certainly the oldest. Parts of the Namib rival South America’s Atacama Desert as the driest place on Earth. Some parts average just 2mm/0.08in of rain a year.
